1d ago Khaosod

Michael Carrick, Manchester United manager, says the 'Red Devils' are still hungry for greater success after finishing third in the league table. Bruno Fernandes is thrilled after breaking the Premier League single-season assist record.

Manchester United delivered an impressive performance in their final Premier League match of the 2025-26 season on May 24, crushing Brighton 3-0 to finish third in the standings.

Following the match, Carrick, who was recently appointed as the club's new permanent head coach, said: "We finished the season strongly. We performed well and third place is now confirmed. I like the way we finished the season and maintained that form. We emphasized that this isn't just the end of the season, but a stepping stone forward, and today showed that through the excellent way the players performed."

"We set high targets. You have to do that here. We want to finish the season as high as possible. Credit must go to every player who has performed consistently and to a high standard. It's a foundation we'll build on next season."

"It always starts fresh from tomorrow. It's never enough, it shouldn't be enough. That doesn't change, but it makes us want more than this. We want more and aspire for more as a football club, and certainly as a team. It's a great ending and a solid foundation for next season and beyond."

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United's midfielder who set the record for the most Premier League assists in a single season with 21 assists, said: "It's fantastic to break the assist record. I'm very happy about it. It's a moment to be very proud of. Of course, it's not something I would have dreamed of or thought about until I got this close to it."

Just wait and see: Arne Slot confident Liverpool will be much stronger next season when players return to full fitness

Liverpool manager Arne Slot blames injuries for a disappointing season but believes the club will be significantly stronger next year once players return to full fitness.

1d ago Khaosod

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is confident that if the Reds can get all their players back fit and available, they will achieve significantly better results next season. Under Slot's management, Liverpool finished the season without winning any major trophies but secured a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League by finishing 5th in the Premier League standings. After their final match, a 1-1 draw at home against Brentford, Slot stated that his team would definitely be stronger next season if players return to full availability. "If you asked me to describe this season in one word, I'd say injuries," Slot said. "We brought in many players last season, and when they all come back fit and ready to play again, that will be a change. Every football club signs one or two new players, and we will too. We want everyone ready to play, and then our results will improve." "Many times this season we were countered and conceded goals. We deserve to play in the Champions League. We were in the top five for most of the season," he added.

1d ago Khaosod

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that he once doubted his own abilities to lead the Gunners to a Premier League title after the club finished as runners-up for three consecutive seasons. Arteta's Arsenal have now ended their 22-year wait for a Premier League championship by winning it this season, providing redemption after three years of finishing second. After the trophy presentation, Arteta revealed his self-doubt about whether he could deliver the Premier League crown. "There was some doubt," he said. "I understand I could take them this far (as runners-up). Maybe someone else would have had to finish the job, but thank God we succeeded. I feel happy and a bit more confident." He continued: "Yes, I doubted myself. It's part of the job. There are many things beyond my control, and that's why you need the best people around you." Reflecting on the championship victory, Arteta said: "It's beautiful. Look at everyone's happiness. They've been waiting for this a long time. We've faced difficult times, but it's all worth it when you see a reaction like this. Now it's time to enjoy it, and I can take off my manager's hat."

Pep Guardiola Reflects on End of 10-Year Tenure as Manchester City Manager

Pep Guardiola concluded his 10-year tenure as Manchester City manager after winning 20 trophies, expressing deep gratitude and emotion following his final match against Aston Villa.

1d ago Khaosod

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his feelings after concluding his 10-year tenure with the club, calling it an extraordinary honor to have served in this capacity.

Guardiola confirmed he will leave Manchester City at the end of this season after leading the team to remarkable achievements, winning a combined 20 trophies including 5 Premier League titles, 5 League Cups, 3 FA Cups, 1 UEFA Champions League, and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.

Following Manchester City's 1-2 home defeat to Aston Villa on May 24, which was his final match in charge, Guardiola opened up about his emotions: "Right now I'm very excited. Why do you love me so much? Why are you doing this to me?"

"I never dreamed I would receive this much love. It's an incredible honor to have been your team manager for 10 years. There are so many emotions. My father is here today in the stadium—he's 95 years old now. Wow! Perhaps you don't realize it, but I'm confident that in the years to come, this beautiful stadium will have my family's name on it. That is the greatest honor."

"It's an immense honor that my family will carry for life. Players may not realize it, but I will be there in the stadium, Pep watching over them. The players have a huge responsibility to maintain these standards going forward. I hope they will continue to fight. This is my home."

"In the years to come, no matter where you are in the world, if you encounter me on the street or at the Etihad Stadium, if you're a Manchester City fan, please come and say hello. It's an honor to represent this club. Every decision I made, I believed was the best for the club. I love you all very much. It's been fun. Thank you everyone."

Guardiola, who led the team to win the domestic double this season, will continue to serve as Manchester City's club ambassador.

End of an Era: Salah Opens Up After Final Liverpool Match

Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson bid emotional farewells to Liverpool after nine years, with the Egyptian forward reflecting on their achievements and the difficulty of departure following a 1-1 draw with Brentford in their final Premier

2d ago Khaosod

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's star forward, opened up after playing his final match for the club before transferring this summer. Both Salah and Andrew Robertson will leave Liverpool after the season concludes, marking the end of nine years with the Red team.

Following Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Brentford in the final Premier League match of the season and Salah's last appearance, the Egyptian forward reflected on his departure: "I think I've cried more than I have in my entire life. I'm not usually an emotional person. We spent our youth here, shared everything from start to finish. We brought this club back to where it should be. He (Robertson) is beloved because he gives everything on the pitch, and that's why they love him."

"Leaving Liverpool is difficult. He's been so important to the team, and during our time together, I felt honored to share a dressing room with him. He's given everything for the team, and I've been very fortunate to have been with him."

"This is life. Looking back, I wonder if I wanted more than what I received. Not at all, really. We won championships together. We felt the love from the fans, and that's what matters most to me."

"I'll be far from here, and I'll feel heartbroken every time. I hope the team maintains its top position and fights for everything."

Robertson added: "I'm emotionally exhausted. This week has been busy and difficult because we had to focus on the game, but it was also important to say goodbye properly. Securing Champions League qualification was crucial. We've had a disappointing season, and it was tough to get through. It's important for me and for Mo to leave the club while also securing our spot in the Champions League."

Staying Up All Night: Citizens Glued to Phones Waiting to Register for 'Thai Helps Thai Plus' Scheme, Fearing They'll Miss Out

Residents across Buriram Province stayed awake all night to register for the Thai Helps Thai Plus government subsidy scheme, fearing they'd miss out on aid that could reduce household expenses by 60 percent.

2d ago Khaosod

Anxious and sleepless, residents are glued to their phones waiting to register for Thai Helps Thai Plus, revealing their desperation not to miss the opportunity, even if it means forgoing sleep. On May 24, 2569, reporters documented the atmosphere across Buriram Province as residents prepared to register for 'Thai Helps Thai Plus' from midnight onward, with households throughout the province staying awake all night, terrified of missing the government's target of 30 million registrants.

Sassathon, 47, from Thlung Lek subdistrict in Muang district, Buriram Province, said that after learning registration would open at 6:00 AM on May 25, 2569, she felt both excited and anxious about potentially failing to register, knowing masses of people would be signing up. She was determined to stay awake to be among the first to register for the program.

Many acknowledge that registration will attract huge numbers because everyone hopes to reduce their household expenses. After learning about it online, they didn't want to miss the chance, so they're willing to skip sleep from 6:00 PM onwards to secure an early spot when registration opens.

Many are eager to cut household costs. They've worked hard and normally return home to sleep early every day, but tonight they're willing to make an exception—staying awake—because they're terrified of missing the registration deadline. For them, missing out means losing an additional 60 percent of their living expenses. As ordinary citizens, some are calling on the government to consider whether such programs could be structured in ways that don't leave people in such anxious situations, arguing that the difference between poverty and stability holds real meaning for struggling families.

Dramatic Escape: Spurs Survive Relegation with Win Over Everton – West Ham Goes Down to Championship

Tottenham survived Premier League relegation on the final day with a 1-0 win over Everton, while West Ham's victory over Leeds proved too little and dropped them to the Championship after 14 years in the top flight.

2d ago Khaosod

Tottenham Hotspur escaped relegation on the final day of the 2025/2026 Premier League season with a narrow 1-0 home win over Everton, courtesy of Joa Palinha's 43rd-minute goal. The Lilywhites finished with 41 points from 38 matches, securing their place in the Premier League for a 48th consecutive season dating back to 1978/79.

The tension was palpable before kickoff, with Tottenham in 17th place just two points ahead of West Ham in 18th. Spurs needed at least a draw while hoping West Ham would lose, and Hammers needed an outright victory and a Spurs loss to survive.

West Ham came from behind to beat Leeds United 2-0 at home, with goals from Valentin Castañeda (67th minute) and Jarrod Bowen (79th minute), giving them 39 points from 38 matches. However, it proved insufficient as they finished 18th and will drop into the Championship for the first time since the 2012/13 season, ending a 14-year run in the Premier League. The club recovered from their last relegation in 2010/11 after just one season.

West Ham, Burnley, and Wolves have been relegated to the Championship, while Coventry, Ipswich, and Hull City have been promoted as replacements.
